Let’s start at the very beginning. It’s a very good place to start.
So, the guy has been met. Love has happened, and the engagement ring is shimmering oh so proudly on my finger. Bliss.
But now what? Where do you start with something so big? I mean, movies have been made, books have been written, fairy tales have been told and retold a million times over. Someone feeling a little bit of pressure? I mean, it is, after all, my wedding day! The day little girls across the world dream of, the day I get to be a queen the entire day, and in my books, the 3 weeks leading up to it as well, I mean you have to milk it a bit… The day I have to plan?

Digital Wedding Invites
As many of you planning brides know, the expenses of a wedding keep racking up. Simple invitations cost a small fortune and they end up getting thrown away. So, why waste?
Digital invites are not only eco-friendly, but are also more practical and you don’t have to pay crazy amounts to send out your invites. You also don’t have to worry about postage costs, whether or not your invites will get there on time or RSVP’s from your guests.
Furthermore Digital Invites can be used to send to 5 or 500 guests, and at the end of the day, it will cost you the same. No sneaky costs creeping into your budget.
My company, dotcommedia specialises in Digital Design and I have just introduced Digital Wedding Invitations as part of my services.
Based on your wedding theme and colours, I can create beautiful, digital invites that are displayed as a full screen PDF File, which you can mail out to all your guests. Your guests will be able to view them and print them out if they wish (saving you money).
Furthermore all PDF invites come with an Online RSVP System, where your guests can, just by clicking a button, send you an email with their confirmation. The subject will already be embedded into the subject body, so all they need to do is type in their number and send off.
If you’re interested give me a call on 084 383 4800 or drop me a mail: dimi(at)dotcommedia.co.za.
These invites start at around R600.00. If you would like to include additional pages for maps, accommodation or other info, I can add additional pages at an agreed, additional charge. We can even link your invite to a Facebook event at your request.
To check out a working version of this invite, click here.
These invites can also be done for engagements, batchelorettes or bulls parties. Please note that the price above is a special rate for brides only. Corporate invites can be done as well, but please contact me for a price.

Little girls dream??
When I was a little girl I never imagined or dreamt about my wedding. I never thought about a huge white puffy dress, the long walk down the aisle, and the momentous flower arrangements for the chapel and reception. I never thought I would ultimately get married, and I NEVER thought I would get married young. This leaves me in a really awkward position because I am planning my wedding, and unlike a lot of other ladies I don’t have a foolproof blueprint in my head! I have not found a dress, bridesmaid’s dresses, chapel, priest, videographer, flowers, décor… the list just goes on, it almost seems like it is never ending…
Top celeb proposals
I found this really great press relase from Brides.com, featuring the top ten celebrity proposals.
